The world premier of Mazda's Nagare concept car took place at this year's 100th annual Los Angeles auto show. Nagare, translated to English from Japanese means "flow", and is representative of Mazda's design intent for its future model line. The exterior shape of the Nagare is simple and organic. Sculpted fluid-like steps on the flanks utilize lighting to mimic wave graphics when viewing the Nagare from a profile angle, and terminate in the form of a splayed lines cleverly doubling as brake lights in the rear three quarters. The interior cockpit featuring a center mounted driver's seat and rear three-passenger bench are suggestive of Mazda's philosophy in keeping the driver as the main focal point without completely abandoning practically.
